What’s the context of the original quote?
I’m an anarchist. I’m not a libertarian. But I’ll give my thoughts on libertarianism.
I think that too many people out there in the libertarianism field are too radical. They should take a page from Ludwig Von Mises and start advocating classical liberalism rather than libertarianism (as for now). It is my belief that Ludwig Von Mises’s beliefs are universal to all. He still believes in liberalism. Yet, he wants a free market. It just seems that sometimes we anarchist types can be too radical. …

Citation required for the dubious claim that libertarians support state controls of property via price controls, regulations, etc.
No libertarian supports state control of property. Unfortunately, though, the government does control property; therefore it would be unwise to base voting rights on property ownership.
